How To Do Bearing Analysis Using Fiber Optic Sensor.

One of the Biggest and renowned brand SKF reveals a new technology to analyse a bearing while it still in operation and get to know about it’s health in order to ensure a quick recovery before it becomes faulty.

Results:
They are specially designed for Pumps & Compressor and the major data that can be figured out using fiber optic sensor are Axial vs Radial Loads , Polar lots of the bearing, internal strain field, strain spectra, load direction, speed of rotation & Temperature.

Benefits:
They offer several benefits to designers and test engineers, including, optimized design, lower development costs, shorter design cycle and the ability to digitalise the design and verification process. OEMs and end-users can use the tool when testing and installing new equipment, to check that the correct load and lubrication requirements have been defined and are not exceeded in the real installation.

This new technology can be used on hazardous environment because the signal data is transmitter in low power in optical signal rather than Electrical Signal.
